[Disco]

apologies, i don't post much and when i do its been negative. The car is fantastic but...

on the motorway tonight, in the rain, all of a sudden i get a drip on my right arm. water coming through the seal. couldn't believe it. then parked up in teh garage, looked over to the passenger seat and there's a drip of water on the seat too!  ran finger along the top side of the door (inside) and there's water seaping through. both sides. what's the crack?!?!

on top of that. it still rattles. havng a few beers tonight to chill and then ringing the dealers tomorrow after calmed down.

Was a few mk5 cars with the same problem iirc. Just going to have to get it looked at by dealers unfortunately.

Do check that you didnt leave the windows open, even just a little bit as you will find out water pours into the car on a rainy day with windows open

Yea mine still rattles sometimes from the drivers pillar, from the rear passenger door card area and from above my head somewhere.Did try some VW rubber care stick but didn't work!

Will get it took the the dealer when ive sorted the paintwork out(long story, dont ask)

Just a thought; I was at VW in Cambridge yesterday checking out a nice five door GT in white so I could figure out where best to fit a cradle. The demonstrator had a roof rack which left a impression on the upper section of the door seal. I was thinking that could leak. Your car was built specially for you I imagine so like I said just a thought...were your windows completely up?

Same problem with the driver's B pillar on my GTD. Took it in to the dealer's, and it's apparently a loose piece of trim inside the pillar. They've ordered a new part, and just awaiting delivery. I've a sneaking suspicion there's also a similar rattle from the passenger B pillar too.

Do you have a sunroof?

[AlanH]

Me? I do, and there's a slight rattle from there too. But it also rattled in my last two GTis.

Sorry Al, directed at DISCO , was just thinking about the leak, not the rattle.

No problem
